TURKEY will not tolerate a Kurdistan!
For decades, Turkey has fought a violent and protracted revolt against Kurdish rebels on its own soil.
So it absolutely will not tolerate an independent Kurdish state on its western border. And it has repeatedly vowed to use force - including a massive invasion into northern Iraq - to prevent one from forming.
In response, the Kurdish militia, probably the best-equipped and best-trained non-Coalition force in Iraq, will strike back.
The Turkish army, in turn, will do everything in its power to undermine the Kurds, providing arms and support to the Kurds' local enemies -Turkmen (ethnic Turks living in Iraq), Iraqi Christians, and Iraqi Sunnis, all of which fear eviction under a Kurdish regime.
Easy solution=ethnic cleansing
Move the Kurds in Turkey to Kurdistan and the Turkhmens in Kurdistan to Turkey. Otherwise, there will be continuing slaughters on both sides of the border.
